NEC intro­duced its LCD2690WUXI2 at MacWorld 2009. The LCD2690WUXI2 is a 26″ LCD mon­i­tor that is geared for pro­fes­sion­als who require very high color fidelity. The IPS (In-Plane Switching) TFT LCD sports a color gamut of 97.8% AdobeRGB, a pixel for­mat of 1920 x 1200, and includes the company’s X-Light Pro auto lumi­nance con­trol that auto­mat­i­cally adjusts the bright­ness of the dis­play depend­ing on the ambi­ent light set­ting. My favorite LCD tech­nol­ogy is IPS because of the very wide view­ing angles and color accu­racy. The LCD2690WUXI2 comes with a very gen­er­ous 4-year parts and labor war­ranty that includes the back­light. The price? $1199. Hefty but prob­a­bly worth it. Considering that the pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tion LCD2690WUXI is still going for $1159.99 (Amazon.com) but has a slightly higher bright­ness (400 cd/m2) and a bit lower con­trast ratio (800:1).
